VIA are still making CPUs!

[Armageus]

Looks like VIA (with the help of their new Chinese partner Zhaoxin) are still going, and are aiming at least to produce some reasonably competitive chips

Be interesting to see what actually becomes of it, but the thought of a third player back in the CPU market, hopefully will continue the competitive resurgence we are currently going through.

I am actually surprised people have not noticed this thread on AT forums:

https://forums.anandtech.com/thread...-2018-nm-kx-7000-2019-x86-processors.2471695/

The OP has been updating the thread with the latest VIA CPU releases since 2016.

Apologies - hadn't seen that before, but very useful

I just realized its an X86_64. As far as i know VIA don't, or didn't have access to X64 and that's AMD's.

Via NANO (Isaiah) Onwards supported X86-64

Wrong, the Ryzen 1600 AF is a Ryzen 2600, not a Ryzen 1600 on 12nm, its just a rebranded Ryzen 2600, the AF product code is Ryzen 2600.

Nope.

Tech journalists..... guys seriously, this stuff isn't difficult!

It clearly is as you've got it wrong as well.

Part number YD270XBGM88AF is an AF part - a zen+ 2700x

AF part code is not specific to 2600 at all - it is specific to Zen+ parts.

It only needs to be:
"Wrong, the Ryzen 1600 AF is a Ryzen 2600, not a Ryzen 1600 on 12nm, its just a rebranded Ryzen 2600, the AF product code is Ryzen 2x00.

Ryzen 2200G disagrees
